Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 159

159 DON’T TOUCH ME

“Where is that bitch!?” he coughed really hard when he roared, but he groaned in pain when he tried to move his body. His entire body was burnt and his skin was ghastly under the bandages.

He suffered around eighty percent burns and the healer said he wouldn’t be able to gain his normal appearance anymore.

Even though he was a shifter and had a remarkable healing ability, his injuries were beyond that. It was already a miracle that he had managed to survive until today.

“That bitch is gone,” Liam replied, he poured a glass of water and then sat down on the edge of his father’s bed, while holding the glass. “The funeral for Emmet happened two days ago and you have been unconscious for almost a week.”

He told him some basic information that his father probably wanted to know.

And just like what Liam had predicted, the news was not received well by his father, he started to roar in anger, his body thrashed in his bed, but it only made his condition worse and the pain became even more unbearable.

It should be this time that Liam told his father that he was not allowed to move recklessly because it could make his wounds even worse.

However, he said nothing and watched the pain in his expression. Pain and anger. He was filled with acrimony.

“Where is that bitch! Bring me that bitch!” he was indignant. “Where is Damon!? Where is he?! He should hunt her down now! Bring me her head!”

.....

And the curses followed by a few words about how ungrateful Zuri was for treating him this way, about how good he was toward her, but this was how she paid him back and a lot of things that Liam stopped listening to after he repeated the same bulshit over and over again.

Liam watched his father and then brought the glass to his own lips, as he drank the water.

“Give me water!” Xerxes ordered Liam with his Alpha’s voice. He was furious beyond words, but the pain seemed to humble him a little bit.

“But, I have drank it all,” Liam replied, he flipped the glass upside down to show that there was no more water left.

“You bastard son!” Xerxes was mad, his eyes dilated in hatred. “Bring me another glass, you idiot!”

However, Liam just raised his brows when he heard that. “You should use good words when you ask someone for a favor. Did no one teach you that?” he tilted his head, as if he was studying the helpless man before him.

“You bastard!” Xerxes cursed again, he was trying to sit down, but he couldn’t even move a finger. He looked down to his body that was wrapped tightly in bandages, but because he moved recklessly, blood stained the white bandages, indicating that his wounds were reopened again. “I AM YOUR ALPHA! I AM YOUR FATHER!”

Liam frowned when he heard that. “But, you failed both positions.” He then rose to his feet and straightened his back, and when he spoke, his voice sounded deeper and full with authority. “I am the Alpha of this Shadow Moon pack now.”

“What?” Xerxes gritted his teeth when he heard that, the pain came in full force now the sedative had worn off. “Call Damon here! Where is that stupid beta?!”

“He is my beta now and this pack is mine, so if you wish to stay alive, you have to learn to respect your new Alpha,” Liam stated boldly before he walked out of the door, leaving his father screaming in agitation.

“Alpha... should I add more sedatives?” the healer, who had been waiting outside of the door, asked Liam. It was time for her to add some sedatives to his medicines so the former Alpha wouldn’t be in pain.

However, Liam wanted to talk to his father and wished to wake him up. That was the reason why Liam was there when Xerxes regained his consciousness because of the pain.

“No, give him tomorrow morning.”

“But...” The healer looked surprised when she heard that. If she was going to give the sedatives tomorrow morning, the former Alpha would be in pain the whole night.

“Tomorrow morning,” Liam emphasized the words firmly which left the healer cowering away. She would never have thought that Liam would be able to look so dominant like this...

===================

Zuri didn’t know how many days had passed since she started to crash in this hotel, because she was not sure whether it was only her nightmare or reality, since both didn’t have any difference.

Zuri was barely eating anything and only filled her stomach with water from the faucet, which absolutely was not enough for her to gain any strength.

Her lips were chapped and her body was slightly trembling. She needed to eat something or else she would starve herself. No matter what, she was not immune to death.

It was in one of her dreams, or the ultimate reality that she felt there was someone watching her, but she was too tired and too powerless to open her eyes.

“Poor little girl...” a man’s voice rang somewhere near.

Zuri forced herself to open her eyes when she felt this person was coming closer to her. Her repulsion to be around anyone demanded her to move away.

Her breathing turned ragged when she felt this man’s soft hand touching her cheeks, his finger felt so cold and she couldn’t breath when that nasty feeling returned to her mind.

“Don’t... touch me...” Zuri managed to speak those words and moved her body slightly, she opened her eyes and found a man sitting on the edge of the bed.

Where did he come from? She was sure that she didn’t hear the lock of the door being opened.

“Why?” the man asked, he looked at her innocently. “Because it reminds you of what your mate had done to you?”
